There was a time when you could grow on Twitter organically.
No ads.
No growth hacks.
No unpredictable algorithms.
Just good ideas, consistency, and real people finding your work.
That era feels distant now—and it shows how much social platforms have changed.

Ah yes, another ode to a glorified text editor with a keyboard shortcut fetish 🧙‍♂️. As our dear author waxes poetic, we can only marvel at their "intimate" connection to a program that’s basically a Rubik's cube for masochists 🧩. Surely, the world will stop turning if the mighty #Vim ever exits stage left 🎭.

I Created My First AI-assisted Pull Request and I Feel Like a Fraud

I used AI to contribute to an open source project. The code was merged. I didn’t learn anything and I felt bad as an engineer.

What strikes me about Metropolis today isn’t just its visual ambition—it’s how clearly it anticipates the logic of automated cities.
Centralised control, invisible labour, rigid hierarchies, and a society shaped by infrastructure rather than policy.
A century later, we talk about data governance, algorithmic power, and urban automation… but the underlying questions are the same.
Cinema sometimes sees the system before the system exists.
